Rustic Wood Slice Wall Clock

The face is cut to an irregular outline, following the shape of a log slice rather than a perfect circle, with grain running across it. That irregularity is the design: a round clock reads as a product, an uneven one reads as an object someone made.

The finish mimics real timber closely enough to pass at a glance while staying light enough to hang from a single fixing, which is what a genuine slice of green wood cannot do without splitting over time. The tones are natural browns rather than stained, so it sits comfortably in a farmhouse kitchen, a boho living room or a Scandinavian bedroom.

The movement is silent quartz, so there is no ticking in a quiet room. It runs from a standard battery and needs no maintenance beyond an occasional dust. Give it plain wall space so the irregular edge is readable against the background; hung between picture frames the outline gets lost and the whole point of it disappears. No two faces are cut alike, so the outline that arrives will not match the photograph exactly; that is the nature of the design rather than a fault. Keep it off a steamy kitchen wall, where the grain finish will lift at the edges over time, and use a fixing rated for a little more than the weight it carries.
